Very annoying event log error...

[Rob Meade]

Hi all,

At random intervals I get the following error in the event log...I followed
the link to the MS site (using W2k3 by the way)...and this is what it
says...

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 4354
Source: EventSystem
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: IDS_ES_SUBSCRIBER_FAILED
Message: The COM+ Event System failed to fire the %3 method on
subscription %2. The subscriber returned HRESULT %1.%0

Explanation
This is a COM+ (Component Object Model) event system error related to
Microsoft Windows Messenger or Microsoft MSN Messenger. The HRESULT return
code specifies the type of error. For example, HRESULT 80004001 (E_NOTIMPL)
indicates the subscribed event is either not implemented or is unable to
reach the subscriber due to insufficient application updates.


User Action
To resolve this COM+ event system error, please upgrade to at least
Windows Messenger 4.6 or MSN Messenger 4.6 from the following Microsoft Web
site: http://messenger.microsoft.com

Now - whats so annoying about this is the fact that I have the
Messenge 6.0 thingy installed on this box so it meets the criteria above -
yet I still get the error?

Is there anyway to download this COM+ thingy-ma-gig and just update it
individually that way instead?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer....

Regards

Rob

Hi

I believe that this message is harmless and that it relates to Windows
Messenger service (not Messenger the IM program). Have a look at this info
